I will be going to poly in this April. ok, I have flunged my o
level and admitted to one of the poly that offers business course .
Actually, prior to that, I wanted to go to some top JCs(e.g
VJ, NJ)so, however I have flunged my o level and can only go
to mid-tier JC ( AJC, NYJC, CJC) . In the end, I decided to go to
one of the poly business course. ( since I have strong interest in
doing business in future). I am someone who always tot abt beating
others and being the top. Personally, I hoped to defeat most ppl in
Local Uni Business Course/ Business ( Accountancy). So since sec 3,
I wanted to score well in o level and go to one of the top JCS and
excel there/ go to poly business course to pick up new business
skills.
I know that Singapore is a country that emphasize a lot on
qualification. To me, getting a degree is basically nonething cos
there are some uni courses that entry pt is only BCC/ C etc. My
personal aim is to excel in Uni business , and get first class
honour( ok, I am a Math person and I am always the top few % of
Math exam , and also my sec school is a band 3/ 4 school). May I
know what is the percentage of NP/ SP business students
entering local uni. Actually, I wanted to enter SMU business/ SMU
accountancy....Right now, I havent enter poly yet but i have heard
of ppl spending 5-6 hrs on average per day to study poly business
subj so as to qualify for SMU...so may I know how much time will i
need to set aside to study for my poly business courses everyday to
score a GPA of at least 3.85? ( Actually, I aimed to score
3.9)....Pls shed light on me....thanks
1. Have some humility.
2. If your goal and dream is to beat everybody at their game,
you won't get far. And I personally dislike such people because of
their motivation for learning.
3. You won't be just competing with just locals at local unis.
Wait till you meet the FTs who will trounce you at your game. If
all you can think of, is step on them and climb, be ready for a
bitter and unhappy fight. Refer back to point 1 and 2.
4. I think SGreans who always complain about having their jobs
taken away have no idea how competitive the world market is. You
want to be plugged into the world market, don't expect mercy. For
the record, having worked with FTs before, I would say a lot of
them deserve to take the locals' jobs. Read: SGreans are too
sheltered.
You need pain to build character, not the good things in
life.
5. Make some FT friends and you'll understand better and learn
more in tandem, that way gives you a far better chance at matching
their abilities.
6. If you think I am talking cock, as I am sure some forummers
here will say, then all I can say is that, I said my piece
already.
7. A first class honours is not called thus for nothing. And
then you said, a degree to you is useless. What talking you?
